Robbed the wrong man?

[ELB]

Video at the link, I don't know how to embed it here. I have no background info on the incident itself except what appears in the caption I used for the thread title. The tumblr account it is hosted on is by a guy who apparently works, or has worked, with the Mexican police in fighting the drug cartels in Mexico, and he runs knife-fighting and escape seminars as well. It would not surprise me if the video is from a Mexican bank or similar institution.

I like how the would-be victim distracts the robber by dropping all his stuff and camouflages his draw by walking behind the woman standing there.

I like the kick at the end, just to make sure

Did he only fire once?

I watched it 3 times and that's all I saw, but I could be wrong.

I saw two shots, the first one, then the second one comes just as he's getting up and the woman turns around.

I count at least three shots. The camera captures the fireball from the first one, then it captures the gun recoiling with the slide back two more times.

So did the guy watching the video in the video.

I wonder what the robber did on the front end- looked like he rubbed the guys ear or something... maybe just pulling him into the gun.


A good case for CC vs open! If carry was open, crime maybe deterred or or GG gets targeted... either way BG probably lives to rob/kill again. With CC the BG goes down, presumably for good.

It is really hard to tell for sure, but I think the would-be victim had earphone or earbuds, and the robber was pulling them off. I think one of the reasons the would-be victim bent over was to get untangled from the cords, and one of the things he dropped was a player of some sort.

good kill.

Short answer to the thread title = YES!

I think this happened in Spain. The top of the video says "Los Jarales" which is a town in southeast Spain. I don't think they have CC in Spain so he's probably an off-duty cop.

Thanks!

I was also thinking he was probably an off-duty cop as well, not only because he was carrying but his actions once things kicked off.

Not Spain as it turns out, but Venezuela. And yes....shooter is a plain clothes cop.

Venezuela it is. Excellent find.

That's just bad luck, isn't it?

A whole room full of potential victims, and he picks the one guy who will kill him.

But, this is the business he's chosen, as Hyman Roth says.
